Interesting discussion guys. I'm on the fence, with a slight bias against gun ownership. The anti-depressant issue is personal to me, having lost a friend soon after he changed medication, and two other people I'm close to on them. The friend I lost jumped and took his own life, and he was always scared he was going to hurt someone (second hand knowledge, as he kept the depression to himself and a select few).
Another person, currently on an SSRI, can be in tears and shaking, yet nothing is wrong. While they certainly had problems before the medication, I do not understand what the anti-depressants achieve. Are they a temporary measure whilst the brain sorts itself out? It's certainly an area that so few understand (myself included), yet impose their ideas on it.
